A pair of spring arms 14 which are attached at 15 to the base board 1 project in such relation to the calendar pad and the cross bar 10 as to frictionally engage'the end of base board 2. These two spring arms 14 are used as card receivers, as it will be apparent that a card or cards may be slipped in between the spring arms 14 and the bar 10 or the calendar pad and such card 01' cards will be frictionally retained in position.

Between the baseboard 1 and the intermediate board2 and the partitions 3 and 4 a pocket 16 is provided in which may be placed or stored appropriate articles, such as a telephone directory book. V

In connection with the base boardl, I also employ a scratch pad or memoranda pad 17 also made up of loose leaves. This pad, like the calendar pad 5, is retained between a base member and a hinged cover plate also preferably made up of plateglass, and beveled. The glass panel is secured to a hinge plate 19, and this hinge plate is hinged at 20 to hinge members on the intermediate board 2. It will be apparent that as the leaves of the scratch pad are used andwithdrawn from beneath the cover plate 18, that the latter will swing on its hinges, as indicated in Fig. 6. To compensate for this swinging movement of the cover plate 18, I provide a movable or tiltable base member 21, which is located in a recess 22 provided therefor in the base member 1. This tiltable base is provided at opposite sides with trunnions or pins 23 which are carried in the base,

member 1, and these pins permit the inner ed e of the tiltable base member to swing as in icated in Fig. 6, to bring the tiltable base member 21 and the hinged cover plate 18 into approximate parallelism. The free end of the tiltable base member 21 is supported by a T-shaped spring plate 24 which has one end secured as at 25 to the base 1. This spring plate may be of any desired shape,

and is designed to support the tiltable base 21, and to swing it on its hinge or pivot, to compensate for decreased thickness of the pad 17. Thus as the thickness of the pad is decreased, the cover plate 18 recedes, and the tiltable supporting base 21 is swung by the spring plate 24'to compensate for the movement of the cover plate, and to retain" the remaining loose leaves of the pad in compact form. The under face of the freeedge of the tiltable supporting base may be grooved as at 26 to accommodate the plate 24, and the partition 4 may be slotted as at 27 to acommodate the body of the spring plate 24. v v

If desired, the tiltable base member may be provided with a pin 28 projecting from one edge thereof and adapted to seat in a groove pad is inserted in position. When in proper I position, the inner edge of'the' loose leaf ad 17 is clamped between thehinge meinT-J (are 20 and the groove 30 of the tiltable supporting base member, and thereafter the pressure from the spring plate 24. holds the pad in frictional contact with the hinge20 so that the'top leaf of the padvmay be snapped out or withdrawn, leaving the remainder of the pad retained in compact position. As the thickness of the pad decreases, the tiltable supporting base member 21 swings as heretofore ,describe'dland retains the loose leaves of thethin pad in the same manner that the loose leaves of the thick pad wereretained.v I i I From this description taken in connection withmy drawings, it will be apparentthat the two pads'5 and17 may be renewed, and 7 replaced when required, and of course any suitable printed matteror arrangement of data, or of advertising, may be displayed on the leaves of thepads 5 and17, andthese data, or datawritten on thepads 5 and 17, of course are visible through the glass panels forming the cover plates. I

The device of my invention is capable of embodiment in many forms, and" for many uses, and it will be understood that I do not limit myself or restrict the invention to the exemplification illustrated herein.

Having thus fullydescribed my invention,

what I claim as new and Letters Patent is'- 1. The combination in a temporary binder with a pad, of a recessed base member for the pad, acover and means for hingedly mounting said cover at a, predetermined distance above said base member, a tiltable desire to secure by base member supported in th'erecess of the base member, and resillent means for cans-- ing coaction of said tiltable member with the hinged cover."

2. In a temporary binder the combination with a recessed base member and a basemember pivotally supported in the recess for tilting, of a cover and means for hingedly mounting said cover at a predetermined distance above said recessed base member, and

means for pressing the end of the tiltable base against the under surface of the'members of the hinge for frictionally retaining the loose leaves of a pad.

3. The combination in a temporary binder with a recessed base member and a base pivoted in the recess for tilting and having a depression near 'itsfree-end edge, ofa cover plate and means for hingedly mounting said cover at a predetermined distance above said recessed base member, and means for pressing the end of the tiltable base against the under surface of the members of the hinge, whereby loose leaves are retained be- 10 base. 7
